Cloud services are a revolution for every type of business, wherever you do business in the world. This is especially true when it comes to Office 365.

Cloud services with Office 365 are able to remove a number of the tasks that we inherent with a server environment, without losing the server features, and they also add a huge number of features that were not financially available to small-medium businesses previously. How you take your business into the cloud depends on how you have configured your current network, but once you are there the features available to strengthen your business are almost endless.

Start with Microsoft Office. If you choose to go to the cloud with Office 365, you will never have to purchase a copy of Office ever again. You will always have the latest version, always! And with every single license, you can run Office on 5 devices. The work laptop, your home workstation (yes, home!), your iPad, your mobile phone and your galaxy tablet (or whatever configuration works for you!)

Then look to your documents. No longer store them on your workstation (which may or may not backed up today!), instead store them on Office 365. You can access, and edit your documents directly from there or, if you prefer, you can sync your documents to your local machine and work with them there. Either way, they are always backed up. Always. And you can access your documents (among other things) from any machine, anywhere in the world that has an internet connection. That is TRUE mobility.

Next, look to your server, if you have one. All of your server services can be moved into the cloud. This means no more servers to buy and install, and the servers you have are always the latest ones, always have available space and power, and are always running. No more server outages! And its always backed up. Always.
